May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sorry we can't be with you, but we pray you will feel God's comfort and peace. Uncle Jimmie was a favorite uncle who's wit, wisodm, and upbeat attitude regularly brought a smile to my face. May he rest in peace.

We all loved Uncle Jim and his classic Backlund "spark." He always brought wit and wisdom and fun to our family gatherings and activities. Thinking of all of you and wishing you peace as you share many happy memories.
